Assessment Blueprints and Test Specifications
PARCC has released a set of test specification documents, including assessment blueprints and evidence statement tables, to help educators and the general public better understand the design of the PARCC assessments. Blueprints are a series of documents that together describe the content and structure of an assessment. These documents define the total number of tasks and/or items for any given assessment component, the standards measured, the item types, and the point values for each Evidence statement tables and evidence statements describe the knowledge and skills that an assessment item or a task elicits from students. These are aligned directly to the Common Core State Standards, and highlight their advances especially around the coherent nature of the standards. Two content-specific PowerPoints have been developed to provide overviews of various specifications and to assist in interpreting the information included in them.

Practice Taking the HSA ~ HSA: High School Assessment Program ~
Practice Taking the HSA Teachers can use the mini-assessments on the public release forms to help diagnose student strengths and needs. The mini-assessments are organized by the content standards identified in the table below. Items on the mini-assessments were on previous forms of the actual assessment and have been released to the public to illustrate how content might be assessed. The mini-assessments include a combination of selected response, student produced-response and constructed response items. Correct answers are provided for the selected response and student produced response items. After students complete the online mini-assessments, they will receive the results of their performance online by standard, expectation, and indicator assessed. Assessment taking tools are also available through Pearson Educational Measurement Solutions.
